Ghetto Sketches — Odie Hawkins

Ghetto Sketches, with its sights, sounds and smells of the main stem ...the rat and roach infested tenements, the jazz-filled freedom of Saturday night, the soulful peace of Sunday morning, is more than a panorama of street life. It is a powerful indictment of the existence of the inner city, that black colony sealed off from the white population of every large city, a reservation, a Bantustan that is politely not called that...ghetto is more acceptable.
